Learn to Sing: 02 - First Belting Exercise (SING-ALONG)

Welcome! My name is Rosanna D'Agnillo, a singer and instructor based in Calgary, Canada. www.RosannaD.com. This is a sing-along video where we practice sustaining a belt on one single note. Pay attention to keeping open mouth posture while staying true to the "hey" long A vowel sound (nasal vowels are better for belting training because they are naturally placed in the masque) and the body support - strong lifted torso but relaxed arms. For breath, relax the abdomen completely and a little nose sniff will suffice for this exercise. If you can't hold each note for the 8 seconds, just do what you can. If you can't do the whole range here, that's ok; just do what you can. Bit by bit you will extend your belt lower and higher. Contact me with questions and for help. Thanks! Rosanna D'Agnillo
